IMPORTANT!
Your heater is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet. DO NOT defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
CAUTION: This heater includes a Thermal Cut-Off Overheat Protection System that shuts the heater off if it overheats due to abnormal conditions. If this occurs, turn the heater ”OFF”, unplug it, and inspect and remove any objects on or adjacent to the heater. Allow it to cool for a few minutes, plug it back in, and resume normal operation.
PATENTED ELECTRONIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Your Disc Furnace is built to last and deliver outstanding performance for years. Unlike other portable heaters, it uses a patented electronic temperature control that automatically monitors the exact room temperature and compensates for heat loss. As a result, maximum comfort and energy efficiency are realized.
ROOM TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
The Room Temperature Display C” displays the actual room temperature when the heater is plugged in or during operation. When the heater is operating and the room temperature near the heater reaches the desired set temperature, the Temperature Set Light “E” will illuminate. Note: To turn off the room temperature display, you must unplug the heater.
Viewing the Set Temperature:
To view the set temperature at any time during the heater’s operation, press the
Thermostat Control “B” button “UP” or “DOWN”. The Room Temperature Display “C” will flash the desired temperature that has been set. When the display stops flashing,it will change to show the actual room temperature.
PLACEMENT OF THE UNIT IN ROOM
For most efficient heating, place the heater on the floor where the air is cooler, and about 3 feet from any wall. To heat your room, the heater will be most efficient when placed near an outside door, the bottom of a staircase, or where colder air is most likely to be entering the room.
CLEANING THE DUST FILTER
The filter collects dirt and dust from air circulating through the heater. To clean the filter, rinse it with warm water and allow it to dry before reinstalling.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
This heater has additional features:
∙Ambient Temperature Sensor (located on the power cord behind the heater) – senses the surrounding room temperature and automatically adjusts the heat output.
∙Safety Tip Over Switch – shuts the heater off if it tips over.
∙Convenient Carry Handle – allows for easy transport from room to room.
